I certainly won't be travelling to the US any time soon. The ethics of purchases is interesting- on one side, a full boycott of anything American sends a strong signal, on the other, it would be good to support those companies that are on right side of history in the climate issue. But I'm less inclined to buy American stuff after this week.
America being a corporatocracy, strengthening companies (and cities/states) that are doing the right thing despite government idiocy is perhaps a positive? Many in the business world have long moved past "is it real" as they've long worked out that it is and they need to plan for the inevitable and necessary deep carbon emission reductions. However, they don't appear to be the businesses in control of US or Aussie politicians, and the right-wing media are even further back in the dark ages...
